50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

something something giant balls

Wil_wheaton_jim_parsons_bowling_faceoff

This picture was taken after we'd been working all day on all the scenes that take place in the bowling alley. It turns out that shooting pretend bowling sequences is really complicated, and just a few minutes of final cut takes several hours to film.

What you can't see is how Jim and I are trying like crazy not to crack up, on account of something that was said just before the picture was taken. 

…no, I'm not going to repeat it. I have to keep some things for myself, guys.

Obligatory Tune-in Reminder: The Wheaton Recurrence airs April 12 on CBS.

    Can I just say thank you so much! Your appearances on TBBT make me all warm and fuzzy inside. The first time I watched Creepy Candy Coating I was laughing so hard my roommate called out to me from the other room and asked if I was alright. That thing stayed in my DVR for months. I would show it to people when they can over. My friends almost got out the Intervention banner.
    By the way, I was at ECCC. I was #19 on the Rock Band list. I want you know that I feel no ill will. It was an awesome time, my first con, a great event and if I don’t stop talking about it soon my friends might get out the Intervention banner. Thank you Wil Wheaton!

    I really can’t wait for ‘The Wheaton Recurrance’ to air! It’s so awesome that they brought you back. I really hope that this becomes a semi-regular gig for you, since it’s my favourite show.
    Also, on the topic of recurrances, will you be returning to The Guild for season 4?

    Nope, nope, lol. I can definitely see you having problems not laughing. =P

    We’ve been playing WoW for 6 million years… and those epic shoulders still haven’t dropped!
    Good speech; great topic!

    This whole thing reminds me of a certain classic AC/DC song…

    I saw them filming it, got excited, and asked them if I could be part of it. I was just young enough to not understand that I shouldn't have asked, but they were into it, and got permission from the producers of TNG to let me be in my uniform.

    Nothing from Penny, though. Bah humbug! I know she’s not a geek, but she does have an awesome wardrobe.

    I hope its a regular gig too. It would be awesome to have both Evil Wil and Kripke face off with Sheldon in a show.

    You should go to Universal Studios this Sunday, March 21, I’m going there March 21 this Sunday. Can you come, Please? It’s my first time ever going there. It seems like fun. That would be cool if I saw you there. XD, C:.

    You’re touching your balls. In public. On the web. REALLY? Good heavens. So immature. God I love it.

    Sooooooo……. why can’t your wear the T-shirt YOU designed? Or better yet… maybe Leonard should wear it one of these days. Ya know, not knowing that WFW designed it. But Sheldon could just get all cold, stoic and flabbergasted and walk out of the room while Raj and Howard just go “dude.” In the that-was-not-cool- voice.
    Just thinkin out loud…
